Focus FCU to Donate $10K to Tri-City Communities through Special Savings Initiative

Friday, August 14, 2015 6:50 AM

Focus Federal Credit Union has announced that they will donate $10,000 to the Blanchard, Newcastle, and Tuttle communities. These Oklahoma areas, also known as Tri-City, will each receive a portion of the $10,000 in conjunction with a savings initiative called REFI TRI.

The goal of REFI TRI is to save the Tri-City area $100,000 in loan interest and to donate $10,000 back to the community once Tri-City residents and workers reach that savings milestone.

“By refinancing existing loans or obtaining new loans at the low rates Focus FCU offers, people are saving money they can use for bills, debt reduction or back-to-school expenses," says Focus Federal Credit Union Tri-City Brank Manager Della Davis. "The average savings most members have seen is around $500.”

Chandra Goodson, director of community development added, “We are working closely with the local chambers of commerce, and each has identified projects they would like to fund with their portion of the donation. Purchasing new playground equipment, establishing an historical society, and a community park enhancement are activities planned for 2016.
